Game groups fall apart. It’s as inevitable as the rain. What do you do when your current group goes south, but you still have a player who wants to continue? Do you continue with the current campaign? Do you now run the entire rest of the party, the monsters, and all the NPCs?

New DMs. It’s easily the most discussed topic in the TTRPG hobby. We’ve talked before about tips and tricks for new DMs looking to run their first games. However, this week, we got the chance to sit down with our return guest Chris and his brand-new to all things fantasy, D&D, and DMing friend, Lenny Szot… who decided to dive into the deep end and run his first game ever!

In this episode, Tony and Dave sit down with our good friend and fellow gamer, Scott Washburn of Paper Terrain to discuss the tradition of using terrain, maps, and minis from the earliest days of the game up to our current times.

How do you handle it when your players want to continue with this set of characters and take it all the way to epic tiers?

We thought that it worked out well that the absolute, final ending to our 2+ year Curse of Strahd campaign coincided almost perfectly with the initial launch of 3 Wise DMs – and that deserves a proper sendoff.
After several months off, and the start of a brand new year, DM Tony and DM Dave are pleased to announce the return of the 3 Wise DMs podcast!
3 Wise DMs wanted to wish all our listeners and their friends and families a very Merry Critmas, a wonderful Holiday Season, and a real Natural 20 of a New Year!
